What are coconut grill briquettes?
Coconut grill briquettes are natural coal. A single piece of coal is 130 millimeters long and has a diameter of about 37 millimeters. Each briquette has a hollow space in the middle. This has the advantage that the piece of coal can be ignited more easily because of the better drawing of air. The air passes through this hole, which allows an even distribution of embers and heat. The grill briquettes are very suitable for outdoor grilling at a fireplace, BBQ or when using a Dutch Oven, i.e. a fire pot. They are especially popular for large barbecues where even embers are needed over a long period of time.
What are the advantages of Coconut Grill Briquettes?
Coconut briquettes are characterized mainly by the fact that their combustion is particularly low in soot and smoke and therefore especially pleasant when neighbors are nearby or when you yourself are near the fire. Another great advantage is that no large ash residues remain after combustion. This means that there is practically no ash to dispose of after the barbecue, which makes cleaning up easier. Likewise the fire danger is reduced, if no undiscovered glow nests are stupidly along-disposed. Besides, the briquettes practically do not smell when they are burned. A fact, which might be pleased above all the neighbors in the close environment. The coconut shell pieces are of natural origin and therefore correspondingly free of chemicals. The briquettes also do not give off any taste to the barbecue food, which is highly appreciated by the customers. The grill briquettes are produced lastingly, but in addition later more. With a burning time of three hours, there is no need for the tiresome adding of wood and the fire provides enough warmth even after the barbecue to provide a cosy evening. Should you want to put something on the grill again later on, you can do so without any problems thanks to the long combustion time. A dessert from the grill is also included.
Who produces the Coconut Grill Briquettes, or rather, what is behind the project?
The coconut briquettes were originally developed to counteract the massive charcoal consumption in Cambodia. The project was launched in 2018 by two NGOs (non-governmental organizations) and continues today as a private company. The company called Khmer Green Charcoal has created jobs through its production, which benefit the poor regions in Cambodia. The positive effects of using briquettes are also the reduced amount of waste. Especially in poor countries, where waste disposal is simply not available or does not function properly, this fact is very valuable. The product is very popular in Cambodia and about 6,500 consumers are supplied with this sustainable fuel in the country.
What does the product consist of?
Coconut briquettes consist of the shell of coconuts, a waste product. They are characterized in particular by the fact that they have a very long burning time and can withstand very high temperatures of up to 800 degrees Celsius. Coconut shell can store heat very well and for a long time. No trees are felled for the production of coconut briquettes, because the coconuts are constantly growing again and are left as waste during the production of various products made of coconut. The remainders do not have to be disposed of in this way and serve another purpose. A circumstance where everyone benefits.
Conclusion
Coconut Grill Briquettes are the first choice when it comes to sustainable grilling. The coconut shell briquettes are made of a renewable raw material. There is no need to cut down trees and forests, thus protecting the environment. The absence of smoke and odor emissions are further advantages and the barbecue does not pollute the environment. And last but not least, jobs are created in a region where they are urgently needed.
